More Thankfulness


I don't even know where to start. How can you put into words how someone you only know via the Internet has such an impact on your life in positive ways?

Stephanie has bestowed another award onto me. She only gave this award to 4 people and I was one of the lucky ones. Although why she picked me remains a mystery. Maybe she knows how much this means to me... I hope she does.

Do I make lemonade with lemons? I try. I'm not always good at it but I try.

Stephanie is currently in the hospital waiting for her precious daughter Ella to be born. The changes that she's been through in the last couple months would break most people. I don't know how she's been able to keep her cool. I would have lost my cool the first day in the hospital, since I'm not a good patient. She should receive awards for not harming some of the idiots she's had to deal with in real life along the way. I'm pretty sure, I'd probably be waiting to have my daughter locked up, behind bars for harming a nurse who made me hold a certain something in the waiting room.... (see her blog a couple of weeks ago)


I feel helpless. I wish there was something I could do for her and her family to make this whole process easier on them.

Thank you, Stephanie. You are a real woman with real feelings and you're a lot tougher than most. You make lemonade better than most people I know in real life. You are in my thoughts! I'm sure when you finally meet and you're able to hold Ella, all that you've been through will seem like a piece of cake. At least I hope so!

My offer to make her a blanket still stands so let me know when you want me to get started.

As for passing on this award, I'm going to give it to five of my bloggy friends. Ladies who I believe make great lemonade.

PLO - Paula and her family could use some help. Please help them if you can. Help The Long Family

Wow, nothing like immediately proving that I am an idiot. Sorry for the double post.

Thank you for thinking of me when thinking of 'lemonade maker' - I appreciate it. I just do what I have to and let the rest go. Thanks again, you're too kind!

Can you really believe how all of this has turned out? I mean really.I didnt have any idea on what "writing" on a blog would transpire into when I started. In this adventure I have ran into some of the sweetest, funniest, freakiest, soulfulest FRIENDS and I mean FRIENDS I have ever had in my life. You, my dear, included.
Thanks so much for everything, your a good girl Tracey!
